Sleepytime Rhyme

Remy Charlip's spare, incantatory love song from mother to baby is the rare picture book that achieves genuine literary quality without reaching for it — the text is simple enough for infants but emotionally precise enough to move the adults reading it aloud. Publishers Weekly's praise and Greenwillow's imprint both signal real quality, and the consistent visual world Charlip creates is calming in exactly the right way for bedtime.
